Please help! Epilepsy and anxiety plus everything else!
So after learning epilim is not a good choice to be on for women, I asked my doctor to switch and I got put onto
Keppra
, 250mg twice a day. I'd been doing great.

Side effects of Keppra

Generic brands
I'm now taking the generic version of
Keppra
and the pharamist is starting to worry me. My gp has prescribed levetiracetam but the pharmacist is saying that she can't guarantee she can give me the same levetiracetam each time as many companies make it.

Levetiracetam/Keppra dizziness and memory
I'm really trying hard to stick with generic levetiracetam but I'm struggling with side affects, which I don't get with Lamictal. I'm so forgetful it's getting embarrassing in my job and I've never noticed this before .I've also noticed today that I'm feeling wobbly, as though my head isn't moving as

Keppra
Had a letter to say mark has to take
keppra
and I'm not sure it's the right medication for him. My sisters twins has tuburous sclerosis and they got taken off it because it made them more violent. Any advise you can give would be grateful xx

Keppra
2 x 500mg a day for what could be partial seizures but I'm feeling like they are not working as good as the deprakine so wanted to know if anyone else has come across this I understand

Amlodopine reaction
I take
Keppra
(2500 daily) and Lamotrogene (150mg daily) and also take amlostin 5mg daily, ramipril 1.25mg daily for blood pressure control plus artorvastatin 20mg daily cholesterol control. There appears to be a shortage of amlostin (5mg daily) and was issued a generic amlodipine 5mg medication.

One step forward and Two steps back....
I have no idea, I thought by being on 500mg in the morning & 750mg in the eve of
keppra
for my pain that it would knock out any kind of seizures but obviously not. Please could anyone help, it just seems I never get a break & if I do I end up paying for it later....

Anyone else feeling so utterly beyond help they really don't know what else to do?
Coupled with deterioration he should go back on
Keppra
. We will lose everything. His job, driving license and my sanity. He works in an industry that has strict drug and alcohol policy. Can't face DWP. I know they will tell me he is fine for work.

Should a doctor decrees you medications if you are still having seizures?
The medications I'm on is
Keppra
1500mg x3 every day along with Epitec 150mg morning and 100mg at night. I visit a doctor last week and he decided to decrees
Keppra
with 1500mg (500mg x 3) I am afraid.

Epilepsy Action expresses concern over new guidance on epilepsy medication
We know that clinical evidence has shown that switching between the branded and generic versions of levetiracetam (
Keppra
) – one of the category 3 drugs - can have an adverse effect on patients.
